Three concentric charged metallic spherical shells $A$,$B$,and $C$ have radii $a$,$b$,and $c$ (where $a < b < c$) and surface charge densities $+\sigma$,$-\sigma$,and $+\sigma$ respectively. The potential $V_A$ at the surface of shell $A$ is ($\epsilon_0$ = permittivity of free space).

  • A
    $\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}(a-b+c)$
  • B
    $\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}(a+b-c)$
  • C
    $\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}(-a+b+c)$
  • D
    $\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}(a+b+c)$

A charge $+q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = x_0, x = 3x_0, x = 5x_0, \dots, \infty$ on the $x$-axis, and a charge $-q$ is fixed at each of the points $x = 2x_0, x = 4x_0, x = 6x_0, \dots, \infty$. Here $x_0$ is a positive constant. Take the electric potential at a point due to a charge $Q$ at a distance $r$ from it to be $Q/(4\pi\varepsilon_0 r)$. Then, the potential at the origin due to the above system of charges is:
